In an effort to .be of
assistance, I have contacted an official with the U..S. Fish and
Wildlife ,Service regarding the grant. I have asked that the
status of the application be determined and a written report of
the findings be provided to office. Rest assured that I will be
back in touch with you as soon as I have any further information.

In the interim, please do not
hesitate to contact me again if I may be helpful in any way. I
want to be of all possible assistance.
